    No it wouldn't, it would just return when there are five ticks left,
    letting the calling verb tick-out after the return.  Alternately, call a
    verb when there are five ticks left.

    Also, fork could be used instead of suspend (yes, I know it's clumsy) to
    get around a bf_suspend and handle_task_timeout tick-limiting thing.

    A workable accounting system seems like an entry in the wish-list for a
    next-generation server.  (Any of the MOO-alternatives out there have
    one?  Cold 1.0 doesn't seem to, will 2.0?  Others?)
